119-SAMDT-971 — To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting access to fertility services, and eliminating barriers for families in need of high-quality, affordable fertility services by expanding nationwide coverage for in vitro fertilization.

What It Changes or Adds The amendment adds a new section to the budget resolution for a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to expanding coverage for in vitro fertilization. It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation dealing with reproductive health care.
